For about a year and a half, Ori Carino's studio. The role was right hand, which meant whatever the practice needed: building pieces, driving a sculpture upstate to Poughkeepsie, installing shows from Spring/Break to Untitled Art Fair in Miami, keeping the studio in order, photographing work in progress, and, unusually, adding ideas to the pieces themselves.

Design ran alongside. For Crypto Assemblage, Carino's multimedia NFT project, an identity drawn out of the artworks and carried into investor documents, pitch decks, a website, flyers and a book.

For his sculpture in Spring/Break's first sculpture show, upstate, a flyer combining photography and design.

For Sweat Shopping, a pop-up with Leah Tinari and Robin Russell, a double-sided price sheet handed to visitors as they entered, and posters drawn from the three artists and the Lower East Side that inspired them.

The work around the work: everything a practice needs so the artist can keep making.
